I mean you can do trivial little toys in the browser sure, but low-latency, real-time audio rendering can't be done in a garbage collected environment (unless the GC is running concurrently and guaranteed not to stall the audio rendering thread). Which the browser does not provide you.

You can get away with it because the complexity is low. When you begin dealing with higher complexities (like even a modest amount of polyphony in a decent synthesizer) you will push up against the limits of what the browser is capable of. That's what I'm trying to say. There are products like bandlab that do incredibly things in the browser, but their competitors do far more with less just by leaving it.

As for higher level APIs... sure you can do it. There are things like WebAudio, Supercollider, Max/MSP, Pure Data, the new SOUL language posted recently, etc. But ultimately what every app needs is an API where they pick which samples to fill a buffer with (what you're calling "sound waves to the sound driver" I think). Mostly because the high level APIs sound bad and you will eventually need non-naive DSP.

Look - everyone knows low level APIs and languages kinda suck to program against. But it's not for lack of trying that serious audio software isn't running in the browser or in managed languages.
>It really shouldn't even need that, it should be what Tesla does with their supercharger network. Plug in your car, it does a tap/pay style negotiation, start charging.

That's a lot simpler when you only have a few cars on the road and standardized charging hardware. But this will get figured out in time. I mean, look at fuel pumps.
> The "worker owned" part repeated several times sounds like a shot at communisms or kibbutz, that will drive some people away.

...and it will also attract other people, including:

- other coops, that want to support each other

- people who are not happy with the increasing inequality

- customers who want to have the ear of decision-makers within the organization. In a privately owned company the owners are often far removed from the customers - even in a medium sized company. In a coop, the employee that replies to your email has far more power to convey your needs to the rest of the company.

Ignoring for a moment how insecure most cheap locks are (including locks on safes), little safes are rarely effective vs a prybar + carrying them away to be cut into at the attacker's leisure. Larger safes have some of the same issues w.r.t. cutting, but you can make it less convenient for an adversary to do it (and make them spend more time where they might be caught).
Palletized shipping is an entirely different world. I recently bought an Optigan (Itself worthy of a HN discussion) and it was shipped on a pallet. Despite mediocre 1970s plastic construction it arrived alive. The shipping experience is hardly door to door. I had to drive to an opposite side of Houston in a ramshackle shipping area that could best be described as sketchy. That said, the folks working there while few were great and helped me load it up and get on my way... Point being I could see that UPS doesnt see a big future in that business. There isnt really a good way to last mile stuff like that cheaply.
Come on, you guys are in every thread nitpicking tiny tiny things like this, while the alternative is literally incomparably worse, and the only thing you achieve by this is making firefox’s case harder for those who don’t look up your ridiculous claims...

First of all, all of these things can be turned off; second, checking if you are using an outdated, potentially insecure browser is essential - if there is a vulnerability, the least of your problem will be that one goddamn ping to a mozilla domain...
The OC claimed they did not have a profitable business model. They do have a profitable business model (in fact they have multiple), they have just not scaled it up enough while at the same time are pumping massive amounts of money into new projects / R&D, so they are not a profitable business. There is a difference between the two things. Space launch and satellite internet are both proven profitable business models where SpaceX is actively growing their marketshare. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if in 2 years time SpaceX is the satellite internet market. No one will want the subpar internet experience provided by geosync satellites when Starlink is fully operational.

Also worth noting that the article is about data from 2015, which was the first year they had ever landed an orbital-class booster (Falcon 9), and only the one time (in December 2015). The first time they ever re-used a booster for a customer payload was in 2017 (after the WSJ article you cite was published). Since then they've re-used boosters many times, with their recent launch actually being the 8th launch+recovery of the same booster. So what was iffy/nascent in 2015/2017 is now proven/consistent in 2021. They are doing much, much better from when that article as published.

Oh yeah, that is my final reply to the thread on git, for sure.

They are arrogant, and you’re welcome to not take my word for it. And, I will use continue real vim.

Also, I will continue to disparage neovim. And, the issue still is not resolved. I will also continue to not give a fuck what they do.

Skimming through the article didn’t give a meaningful tl;dr - it’s complicated and there is no prevalent answer. Personally I got two (naive) things:

- latency is bad, do a single request at start
- don’t use jquery
- ui frameworks are not part of the issue(?)
I have been working a support role for about eleven years now, and Cerb[1] has been the best help desk software I have used by far, but as a support agent and as a business owner.

The code is open, you can self-host the application if you prefer not to use their cloud solution[2], it supports PGP email encryption/decryption/signing, and it has an endless number of integrations; you can basically build a support portal with everything your support team needs.

It is a little hard to get started as there is so much to do with it, and so many concepts to learn, but once you set it up the way you want, it is perfect.

If you want something easier, but still self-hosted, Full Help[3] is what I previously used. The developer is super responsive, takes to criticism very well, and engage with you when you have a feature request. Took him less than a month to have PGP encryption support added, from conversation to production.

It is relatively new and has not been updated since October, though, so keep that in mind.

If you want simple and do not want to self-host at all, then Help Scout[4] is your best bet. Their support leaves a lot to be desired, but their product makes up for it.

What are the issues that "of course there will be", I mean the ones that the French didn't catch in their preparation or (several) tests?
Firefox. But kidding aside, for what I've found on adblocks for Safari you need to pay and I believe those are quite inferior in blockage to uBlock.
I'm going to be inevitable in the opposite direction: I don't think cross-domain requests were actually saving that much bandwidth. The common use case I could think of that would be JavaScript CDNs. The problem with that is that JS libraries update frequently - even something really common like jQuery has hundreds of releases, all of which get their own separately-cached URL. So the chance of two sites using the same jQuery version is low. Keep in mind that public JS CDN URLs are rarely refreshed, too - it's more of an indicator of when the site was developed rather than the latest version the site was tested with. So you could hit hundreds of sites and not get a cross-domain cache hit.

Even if you did share a URL with another site, the benefit is low compared to what you can do with same-domain requests. Most sites should be served with HTTP 2 already, which means even unoptimized sites should still load decently fast as requests aren't as expensive as they used to. You can get almost all of the same bandwidth benefits from a cross-domain cache by just making sure your own resources are being cached for a long time.
25-33% of requests? Or is this a percentage of bytes?

Because I wonder what percentage of bandwidth (in terms of bytes) trackers/banners/ads account for.

Here in Missouri, millions of people think the election was rigged. If my representatives didn't present our concerns to Congress, they would be voted out.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that question. However, this is the only Twitter comment that mentions this on their page, and I don't have access to a Verizon account to verify their outage status memo. We had a flurry of employees saying their connections were going haywire to the business and this is the only thing I've been able to gather outside of downdetector.
Clinton was saying the 2016 election wasn't legitimate as recently as October 2020 AND she suggested Biden should never concede no matter what (which suggested that 2020 would be illegitimate).

And saying well election fraud and voter registration cheating isn't the same thing as voter fraud is a distinction without a difference.

The GOP took it further than the Clinton did in 2016. But the democrats pushed russia conspiracy theories for 3 years in order to de-legitimize Trump. Their hands are not clean.
This is speculation, of course, but: there are several large Internet Exchanges in NYC, and US/EU peering points. It's probable that a fiber cut could have cut several other links, and the failover links are now completely overwhelmed.

I will be able to remain (as everyone else who moved to the UK before 2021).

As skilled migrant, getting a work visa is not very hard from any country to be fair (albeit it costs money to you or to your employer and it's therefore likely to have a reflection on your salary).

EDIT: Incidentally, I'm not planning to stay in the UK for much longer, but that's just because I'm moving to a country with lower taxes, not out of concerns for Brexit.

“Passwordless technology” is just giving users their own keys.

How to provide a good onboarding and UX around that process is another story. It requires educating the user to a different mindset.

I advise looking into Argent[1] (Loopring is the same) or BrightID[2] as just a few examples of how this can work well.

If you have no friends for social recovery, Argent provides their own service that links to your email or phone for recovery. So it’s more like a typical account recovery that users are accustomed to today.

Similarly, ZenGo[3] provides just that email/phone recovery service alone but it feels intuitive and safe depending on your threat vector. The cool thing about them is that it also uses facial recognition.

If it's a fiber that goes into major data centers it certainly could.
For 6 weeks in 2018 the EU ran a survey asking its citzens whether they want to the bi-annual clock change to stop. (Do you see it? I didn't). 4.6M (of the total population of around 448M) participated.

With the exception of Germany (3.19%), Austria (2.94%) and Luxembourg (1.78%) all other countries had less than 1% of their population canvassed.

The EU concludes that 84% of its population want Europe to stop changing the clocks[1].

The Commission proposed, the Parliament voted[2] (did you see that in any MSP election material? I didn't) and when the Council of Minsters approves, it will become law.

That is the sausage-making of the EU laws: canvass 1% of the population who you'll know will support your argument and claim your democratic mandate.

I for one am not upset, just confused because your information doesn't match my information.
So, let me get this straight:

$5 Trillion from the Fed that goes straight to investors === not a bubble

$2 Trillion that goes directly to consumers that will be spent at least once on consumer goods and services, and probably more than that === a bubble
Interesting point. I recall some analysis that the froth in the market is being driven by (1) reduced spending -> increased investing, at least for those who kept their jobs (2) cancellation of sports, leading to more speculation as a substitute form of entertainment.

If that's correct, then yeah, we could potentially see a slide. I suspect it won't be massive, and it could be counterbalanced by economic growth that happens at the same time due to the reopening. Don't forget that the stimulus/bailout/money-printing is also driving the market up too.
My assumption would be if manufacturers are forced into making things more repairable, it would by virtue make them easier to recycle.

When things are glued together, you generally have to break them apart, which contaminates different types of materials making recycling significantly more difficult.

Maybe I'm just being too optimistic but I don't know how human society continues down the path of pulling raw materials out of the ground, turning it into a "device" which is then just thrown away. There is a finite amount of material on the planet, and most of the things we're throwing away end up quite toxic when buried indefinitely. I won't have to worry about it, or my grandchildren, or maybe even 5 generations from now, but it's a question of when, not if.

There are definitely a couple of big one. They get posted on here every now and then but I can't remember them because I'm in Europe and if they don't want me, I don't want them.

Even if Google didn't have a stake in targeted advertising, shared caches lead to easy identification - browsers have a duty to close off any avenue by which users can be tracked.
With a typical sharded relational database setup, each sharding key value maps to exactly one shard.

There should be replicas of that shard, which can be promoted in case of a master failure. But in rare cases all replicas may also be degraded or inconsistent and therefore non-promotable. When this happens to a giant monolithic non-sharded database, the impact is far more catastrophic than when it happens to a single smaller shard.

In any case, replication is a separate concern from sharding. Each sharded database replica set (traditionally 1 master + N replicas) has a data set that is unique / independent of other sharded database replica sets.

That said, some of the "NewSQL" distributed databases may arrange their data in more complex ways. [Edit to clarify: I mean in respect to the combination of both sharding and replication. With a traditional sharded relational database, you have replica sets where each replica contains the exact same shard or shards; with a NewSQL distributed DB, data may be replicated in a more complex arrangement]
> Even better is that they start in Texas

Which at the time was referred to as the "Silicon Prairie". I still remember my Dad working for Control Data and he travelled frequently back and forth between Minnesota and Texas. I also remember a lot of conversations my parents had first about moving to Texas and then later moving out to CA when SV really took off.

We never moved, but during those years when tech really took off, he was constantly being recruited by companies in the valley.
jQuery really isn't a problem - it's just a light-ish wrapper around the native JS APIs. The problem is JS itself or rather the fact that it's used where it really shouldn't be.

In the past few decades, unequivocal support for Israel has fallen among American Jews, while it has grown among Evangelical Christians. Admittedly, these numbers are complicated, as a majority American Jews say they feel an "emotional connection" to Israel, but nearly 60% are critical of the country's policies, and fewer than 25% are both pro-Israel and supportive of the current government policies. See https://jewishcurrents.org/are-95-of-jews-really-zionists/, https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/80-percent-of-us-jews-say-the..., etc.
They do, and other platforms besides.

But alt-social media platforms really only exist for internal comms, and vigorous ideological masturbation.

Facebook is the only realistic option to (competitively) scalably organize any event.

Private company, etc. etc. But the reality is that facebook is such a powerful tool for organization and outreach that not having access to it is damn near a death sentence for any budding social movement.

Personally, I get a chuckle out of seeing a few left-wing pages deplatformed every now and again, because as a Libertarian any time I find a coherent and principled group that's thinking about engaging in political advocacy or activism I start counting down the days until a left-aligned group/page declares them neonazis, brigades them until they've been deplatformed, and then hunts them down on every alternative platform they adopt until they move to signal.

But I don't think Facebook should be picking winners and losers in the domain of political organization so casually, considering their market penetration. These pages should never have been banned in the first place.
For artificial intelligence, I think it's more often marketing driven development. It's easier to seem disruptive if you claim to have AI in your product. Easier to get funding and have people talk about your company. I feel like it comes more often from business executives than technical people.
Also interesting to see the consequence. The next several presidents until roosevelt are republican. The exception being woodrow wilson but you can ready on how he segregated the troops and actively ordered black troops to the most dangerous front lines. Then you have Harding coming in with 60% of the vote post Wilson.
They're still useful indeed for those reasons. What's now much less useful is to maintain some number of bombers with live weapons airborne at all times to guard against a possible sneak attack on airfields.

Missiles don't turn around either, but I wonder if any of them have the ability to be disarmed or self-destructed. Might be a useful ability in some situations, but also a vulnerability that an enemy might exploit. I expect people like us would never know for sure if such a thing existed anyways.
I was originally recommended kinesiotherapy by a dentist to aid back/neck pain and psychotherapy to work out what's causing this. Never went to any form of physical therapy, but I started going to a psychotherapist (psychoanalyst to be exact). Little by little, my bruxism, neck and back pain went away. Another thing that helped was learning proper tongue placement. I still grind my teeth while asleep sometimes, but only during more stressful periods of life and it can be avoided by tiring myself physically (going for a run, etc).
I thought this was supported as of Safari 14, but I haven't heard if Google and Firefox intend to support this as well.

Do you consider the developer edition an extension, or is your point about extensions relating to GP's reference of Owl?

Firefox Developer Edition is a first party version of the software from Mozilla. It runs slightly ahead of the standard Firefox version I think.

FWIW, Waterfox also uses dark browser chrome by default, although if you're worried about security risks in installing extensions, a third-party fork of Firefox may not sit well with you either.

Regardless, I've used both pieces of software and had very positive experiences.
They weren’t on a VPN, but my guess is that they got IP addresses from their DNS requests that were on our side of the partition.
